Terms Used in these Operating Instructions
HDD
Refers to a hard disk drive (mass storage medium). The unit records camera pictures on a hard disk rather than on
video tape.
Recording rate (ips, I-Frame)
Refers to the unit that determines the smootheness with which the recorded images are played back. "ips" is used to
express the number of frames recorded per second. The higher the number, the smoother the movement, but the
available recording time becomes shorter. "I-Frame" is used to express the refresh interval set on the camera.
Resolution
Resolution refers to the degree of fineness and quality of the camera pictures recorded by this unit. This unit displays the resolution in number of dots. For example, if the number of horizontal dots is 720 and the number of vertical dots is 480, the display reads 720 x 480.
M-JPEG
A video codec that compresses video fields from the camera into independent JPEG images sequentially by query
from the unit.
Network load will be reduced comparing with the method that obtains JPEG images independently from the camera.
However, the transmission rate will fluctuate depending on the state of the camera.
Some cameras phrase this video codec as just "JPEG".
Manual recording
Function for starting and stopping recording manually by clicking the recording button or recording stop button.
Schedule recording
Function for starting and stopping recording automatically at a preset time.
Event recording
Function for starting recording automatically when an event occurs.
Event recordings are divided into pre recordings (pictures before the event occurs) and post recordings (pictures
after the event occurs).
Emergency recording
Function for performing priority recording in emergency situations, etc. through an external switch connected to the
unit.
SD memory recording/SD memory data
Function featured in some Panasonic’s cameras that saves images on the SD memory card on the camera when
communication with the camera failed in the period set for the schedule recording of this unit. Images saved by the
SD memory recording are described as "SD memory data" on these operating instructions. The recording time of SD
memory data will be displayed based on the clock of the camera.
5
External recording mode
Function for changing the time schedule through an external switch connected to this unit. While the switch is turned
on, recording is performed according to the time schedule specified for external recording.
Event
An event is a phenomenon which triggers a specific operation (event operation) in the unit. Events are divided into
terminal alarm, command alarm, and site alarm.
Event Action
Event action refers to a specific operation performed when an event occurs. Event operations are divided into ALM
(Alarm Mode), ADM (Activity Detection Mode), and are selectable. In ALM, the occurrence of an event is announced
by screen display, LED, or buzzer (Alarm Operation). In ADM, the occurrence of an event is not announced, but the
unit starts event recording, performs the preset operations, and enters the event into the event log. In OFF mode,
the unit only enters the event into the event log.
Sequence
Sequence refers to automatically changing the displayed camera picture in a preset sequence. Sequence display is
possible while the unit displays live pictures.
Electronic zoom
Function for enlarging live and playback pictures. While the camera uses the camera zoom function to enlarge pictures, the electronic zoom function enlarges the picture electronically in the unit and displays it.
Camera control
Camera control refers to controlling the functions of the combination cameras connected to the unit. These functions
include Pan/Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Brightness, Preset Operations (moving the camera to a preset horizontal/vertical
position), and Auto (for example, automatic panning).
A-B repeat playback
Function for playing back repeatedly between a set start point (A) and an end point (B) in playback mode.
HDD safety mode
Function for turning off the power supply to the HDD to prevent damage of the HDD due to vibration and shock if the
unit is mounted in or dismounted from the rack with the power turned on.
Disk config
When an HDD is replaced, removed, or added, the HDDs need to be newly configured. Disk config refers to the
menu for performing these HDD settings.
RAID (RAID5)
This stands for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks. It refers to a technology to implement a high-speed largecapacity and high-reliability disk unit by distributing access to multiple HDDs. If trouble occurs in one of the HDDs,
the data on the faulty HDD can be recovered based on the error correction data recorded on the other HDDs.
(RAID5 is used when 3 or more HDDs are connected. If trouble occurs simultaneously in 2 or more HDDs, the data
of the faulty HDD cannot be recovered.)

■ About the SD memory recording
The SD memory recording is the function of some
Panasonic’s cameras that saves images on the SD
memory card on the camera when communication with
the camera failed in the period set for the schedule
recording of this unit.
For example, when "0.1 ips" is selected for the recording rate for "SD MEMORY REC", images will be recorded on the SD memory card on the camera if no request
(image inquiry) is made from the unit to the camera in
the period of 10 seconds (equivalent to 0.1 ips*) or more
during the time range set for a schedule.
* The start time of the SD memory recording differs
depending on the set recording rate.
There are two ways to obtain recorded images from the
SD memory card; automatic obtainment by adjusting
time length between schedules and manual obtainment
by clicking the SD memory data obtain button.
When time length between the set schedules is longer
than 30 minutes, images recorded by the SD memory
recording will be obtained automatically. All users will
forcibly be logged out when automatic obtainment
starts.
To obtain SD memory data automatically, set time
length between the schedules longer than 30 minutes.
Refer to the operating instructions (PDF) for how to
obtain images manually.
Important:
• The emergency recording will be performed at the
recording rate set for "SD MEMORY REC" on the
"Emergency REC" window when communication
with the camera failed during the emergency recording.
• The SD memory recording will not be performed if
communication with the camera is not established
even when it reached the start time of the schedule
recording or when the emergency recording is triggered.
• Do not set the recording rate of the SD memory
recording for the same camera with multiple
recorders.
• The recording time of SD memory data will be
recorded based on the clock of the camera. To prevent a time contradiction, match the clocks of the
camera and the WJ-ND300 using the NTP function.
Note:
All images recorded on the SD memory card may
not always be obtained at a time depending on the
time length between the schedules or the total size
of the images. Images failed to obtain can be
obtained automatically next time.

■ [Measurement] button
It is possible to check if the set recording rate and transmission rate are available for the network in use by
clicking this button. It will take around 90 seconds to
check. In the process of measurement, recording and
copying will stop.
When the set rate is displayed red, recording/transmission may be failed with the set rate.
Check if the result value (total value of the maximum
network speed of each camera) is below the maximum
network speed of the unit (50 Mbps as indication).
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit (50 Mbps as indication)
(Example: 50 Mbps < 60 Mbps (result value))
When the result value is beyond the maximum network
speed of the unit (50 Mbps as indication), refer each
rate for "LIVE VIDEO", "MANUAL REC", "SCHEDULE
REC" and "EVENT REC". Then, lower the higher rate
among them or lower image quality to diminish the network traffic from the camera. Click the [Measurement]
button to check if the result value is below the maximum
network speed. Repeat this procedure until the result
value becomes less than 50 Mbps (as indication).
Important
• When the result value is beyond the maximum network speed of the unit, the following may occur due
to the heavy network traffic:
• Some images to be recorded may not be done.
• Some live images to be displayed may not be
done.
• Some alarms to be issued may not be done.
• Operational response may become slow.
• The main unit may restart.
• Even when the result value is below the network
speed (50 Mbps as indication), the above problems
may occur depending on number of the connected
cameras and PCs.
• Network traffic changes every moment. In any circumstances, the result value should be less than the
maximum network speed of the unit (50 Mbps).

• Do not change the settings in the process of the measurement.
• In the process of the measurement, recording, playback, live image display and copying will stop. Other users
currently accessing the unit will forcibly be logged out. They need to log in the unit after the measurement.
• The result value is the reference value. Depending on the network traffic, different result value may be displayed
even when the [Measurement] button is clicked without changing the settings.
• Depending on the network traffic or other causes, the following may occur.
• Live images are not transmitted as configured
• Images are not recorded as configured
• Response of the web browser becomes slow
• The web browser is disconnected
• Recording is not carried out
We make no guarantee for any damages incurred by recording malfunction or error occurrence regardless of
what the cause may be.

Summary of the RAID 5 function (Redundant Arrays for
Independent Disks, independent data disks with distributed
parity blocks)
It is possible to use the RAID 5 function with the optional RAID board (WJ-NDB301).
RAID level 5 regards 3 or more drives as one drive, and it is possible to read data by attaching error correction data
even though one of the drives is broken automatically. (It is impossible to recover data if two drives are simultaneously damaged or the second drive data fails during the data recovery process.)
When using the RAID function, the logical disk size of the extension unit will be as below.
Logical disk size = Smallest size of the disk among the disks in the extension unit x (Number of the disks in the
extension unit – 1)
Note:
Depending on the model of a hard disk drive, the logical disk size may be a few percent smaller than the size
resulting from the formula above.
Important:
• It is impossible to use the RAID function with the WJ-ND300A alone if the WJ-ND300A in use is not featured the
built-in RAID board.
• The settings relating to the RAID function can be performed on the setup menu displayed on the LCD on the
